I've moved some previously "normal" products to child products and want them to only show with the parent.

Is there a way to set the category field to remove previously assigned categories?

My workaround was to create an unpublished category called "None" and upload that but it's no longer working for some reason.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Is there a way to set the category field to remove previously assigned categories?

There is no way to remove previously assigned categories with current VirtueMart Product import but with the attached patch file, we have added a new available field category_delete which can be used to remove a category assigned to a product.

Do the steps to use the patch file
1. Load the patch file from CSVI Maintenance menu
2. Update available fields
3. In your import file add new field category_delete and for the products you need to remove category set the value to Y.
4. Run the import and check.

Let me know how this goes.

Thanks for the quick response. Sorry, no, it didn't work,

I ran the and it said it was successful. Then I updated the fields. I do get an error about RS_PRO fields missing when I update fields.

When I the file (attached) it and Preview the file, I don't see the category_delete field. After the update, there's no change to the product category. Attaching files.

Can you tell what I doing wrong here?

Hello Lindee,
The patch did not work because there was no category_delete field in your file. Can you run the modified attached CSV file and check?
